trip replay work is very beneficial but its extremely time consuming and its not as simple as one may think. The type of trouble that most people think is important is not important at all, for example horses getting boxed in or bad breaks, everyone sees that trouble and its often times called out in the running lines, no value there. I think a successful handicapping book would include a detailed chapter on doing replay work along with a dvd in the back that could be used as a tool.
If time is a consideration then I would suggest teaming up with one or two individuals and sharing to cut down work, but you have to trust the opinion of the person you are sharing with. Its pretty easy to do with programs like formulator or bris.
